Water is usually the cause of gravel washing down a driveway.
Solution is to cut several angled gulleys in the drive at 30 deg angles to stop water gathering momentum you will need to feed these into a ditch/larger gulley at the side of the drive to stop the same thing happening on the side of the road.I have seen the plastic type with grids on top or perhaps the galvanised channel with galvanised grill used for these.
